"I like this song 'cause Mike's playing the drums and Yauch's playing the bass. It's kind of got that old-school live band flavor. The name 'Skills to Pay the Bills' was originally the name of a 'Pass the Mic' remix, but we liked the name so much that we decided to make a song out of it" - Adam Horovitz, 1999
